Had a buddy that couldn’t take the pain anymore and he had enough drink and anxiety meds one night and he just never woke up.

He made sure to turn on his music extra loud so it’d bother his neighbors so his cat would be okay and would be rehomed.

He was a good guy.

I would think not if you’re a good engineer.

Even the code of Hammurabi had the death penalty for engineers that caused the death of another through poor design.

Good lord I feel ya. Volt typhoon has positioned itself to take out US critical infrastructure as soon as we push back on Taiwan. As one article put it, “the gun is loaded”…

I am Ralph wiggims on the bus and “I’m in danger”

I’m happy for you! Live your best life. 💛

Yeah, I haven’t found any work opportunities overseas that would really make this possible.

Then there are all the ties I’d have to break and people I’d leave behind. I’d feel guilty. That’d be hard.

Oh indeed, but with a refinement. Only the churhes that embody the phrase “there is no hate like Christian love”.

The rest, I hold blameless.

I think by “remarkably safe” he meant “appealingly harmful”. It’s understandable, I mix those up all the time.

… Then again maybe the purpose of making the meme like that is provoke exactly this kind of comment.

Busy supporting both the young and very old. Always questioning whether I’m doing any good at either.

I wonder if I’ll live long enough to retire. I have my doubts.

I’m starting to feel like if the rights were so easily eroded then maybe they weren’t rights in the first place.

Don’t worry they won’t let another party be formed.

Let’s see how it turns out. I think it’ll be interesting to watch and I understand now why they’re trying to get people to bet on new events because at this point it’s the only bright spot in this dystopian hellscape.

This is correct. Ithought I could almost afford it, but I would need to save up an amount of money that is not really possible to save up in my situation and besides that I don’t know if I could psychologically manage actually getting everything lined up and working properly in a whole other country. I’ve looked into it in depth, and it is incredibly taxing and difficult.

I don’t know if it’s something I could ever really manage, even in some of the countries that are “easier” to immigrate to.

Watch out for the android TV boxes. They are being used by China to backdoor into US critical infrastructure. Seriously.

This just barely covers the depth and scope of the issue. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fbi-badbox-20-android-malware-infects-millions-of-consumer-devices/

You have placed within me the desire for a switchblade butter knife.

I need it.

Uh oh. I hope you guys aren’t next. Good luck up there.

This is a good point, and I think that the correct answer is that it wasn’t, and it isn’t. I have never asked this question of my own country and I appreciate having read it because I think I need to start speaking it aloud.

Can’t watch at the moment, but it oil, right?

I would argue that political parties being owned by billionaires is a problem of a greater scope and severity.
